It is a hardy plant, which grows in Europe and Asia, it has the advantage of growing even on poor and dry soils, in particular limestone, with purple fluffy flowering spikes.

It owes its Latin botanical name Sanguisorba to its medicinal virtues: saguis (blood) and sorbere (to absorb) since since Antiquity its rhizome has been recognized as having a powerful haemostatic and healing capacity, thanks to its high tannin content.
